Spring time in Texas means unpredictable weather.

We do have a chance of some rain in Bryan-College Station later in this week. Local forecasts call for the best chance of rain to come on Friday and clearing out by Saturday morning.

Hopefully we don't get hit too hard at the 5 complexes. Crews will be standing by to get the fields ready in case we do get some rain.

If we can just make it to the first pitch, it should be clear sailing for the rest of the weekend.

Any official updates on game delays or such will be communicated through the USSSA e-mail system. All managers and most players should have their e-mail address in that system by now. Any other sources should not be considered reliable.

We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend!

Why in the world would you have the Home Run derby at a park that is hosting “D” games and then the 35+ “B”and “C” games at another park? Wouldn’t it seem more logical that some of the 35+ guys and upper players can’t make the derby because it’s at a completely different park?!?

B and C games do not begin until Saturday morning.

The Home Run Derby is Friday night.

35+ players do not typically enter this Home Run Derby because of the bracketed format.

For example, if a 35+ player is in the Derby and his matchup against another hitter comes up at 8:37 p.m. But he's in the middle of playing in a game on another field.

What's he going to do? Put the game on hold while he goes to hit? Put the entire Derby on hold until his game is over so he can come hit?
